As many know, Valth has been in a state of corporate war for many years. Though many technological advancements in weapons technology have come about from it, the main government has apparently had enough. If nothing else has been a factor, the fact that they have offered 2,000,000 VC to the first people to step up to killing all the high-ranking members of Karume corporation would be evidence.

...They're serious...right?


This will be a chat-based Philsys RP, and one in part of a series (plot included) starting out in Valth. I will be including the PS 0.7 modifications currently in place, as well as a number of house rules that I will post shortly. However, I will need to see if there is any interest whatsoever.

[EDIT] I will be leaving this thread up until next Sunday to determine if there's sufficient interest for me to bother starting this. Those who are interested, please link the sheet you are interested in using. <p>ChibiUrusai: *chomps* I am underage. ^-^

Present and interested. <p>-------------------------

Do we need to create new Valthi characters for this?

Even if so, I'm in. <p>

No, you do not need to. In fact, I'd recommend, if only for better "impact", that you use preexisting characters. Preferably converted to PS v0.7 (as I call it). First-gen only, please. However, you can create a new character if you like. <p>ChibiUrusai: *chomps* I am underage. ^-^

I have a character in mind, I just have to update (and technically finish) his sheet.

If there are any other criteria you're looking at for characters, please inform me. <p>

Alright. I said I'd post them, so here I, well, do.

First off: Cover can and does mess up one's spell accuracy here. Half cover gives a +3 bonus to MBlock, while full cover gives +6. Same here applies to projectile attacks.

Secondly, a round will be measured in increments of 20 points of Initiative. Anyone whose initiative goes above 20 for the round gets a bonus turn at the beginning. If a negative initiative is somehow gained, one's turn will be applied at (20+(result)) on the next round.

Criticals ignore all defenses. All damage reduction and elemental resistances/immunities/absorptions included. Reflection effects are bypassed completely. However, the attack only has 1.5x damage/effect normally, or normal effect to an enemy typically immune or absorbent to the attack.

The following conditions modify initiative in the following ways:
Weakness attacked: Defender loses 3 initiative.
Attack criticals: Defender loses 3 initiative, plus an extra 2 per extra level of critical.
Attack is negated through damage resistance or immunity: Attacker loses 3 initiative
Attack critically misses: Attacker loses 6 initiative, plus an extra 2 per level of critical failure.
Attack is absorbed:Attacker loses 3 initiative, Defender gains 3 initiative.
Attack is reflected: Attacker loses 6 initiative.

In the case of a multitarget attack, the attacker only receives one penalty in terms of the worst-case scenario (for a single given target in the AoE). All bonuses and penalties of this nature are applied on the next round, and only the next round. <p>"DO YOU THINK YOU CAN DEFEAT US? OUR TREASURE MAY BE HEAVY, BUT WE ARE LIGHT AS WIND.

I'd probably be interested still. <p>

If this is the one that Im thinking about.
Yeah, sure. :o <p><div style="text-align:center">

Provided that it matches up with my limited schedule, I'd be in on this thang. <p>

I will have a sheet as soon as I check a couple of things with Nama!

Edit: I went ahead and posted it already, so if there's any problem, let me know.

Oh, yeah, it's here. Zeke Mazuo reporting for duty! <p>

That's right, I am emerging from lurkery to try and put myself in!

Of course, I'd have to modify my stuff..or make a new character even. Hm. Maybe Claw. <p>--------------------

Might use Damian. Depends on how much modding and such I'll have to do. Does it matter terribly if I use a Valthi ex-patriot?

I could go for this but sadly my schedule is rather limited in terms of what I'm actually available for. If you can give out some times that you'd be looking to do this I could give a definite yes or no sort of thing.

Shucks. I was going to try to hop in with Yuji, but it seems you already have the requisite ninja. I suppose, though that it doesn't technically *stop* me from using him... <p>

Isao is gennerally available anytime until about 2 AM (eastern) on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I could probably work something out for Wednesdays as well though I'd probably have to sacrifice one of the other days to make my life/job work here but the point is that I could probably do it if it was needed.

If that works out let me know.

I suppose I'd play as Anasia see as she needs to be dusted off at this point. Her sheet can be found here: p068.ezboard.com/frpgww60...=111.topic

*Because I'm too lazy to do anything other than copy and paste at the moment*

- Blackwind. <p>"I think weird is the latin root of role-player." - Gurgling Ooze</p>

Alright. Given the people who have actually proposed characters (with sheets) and displayed interest, plus various other factors, I shall allow the following characters for this RP.

--Sarah Deeum (Sarah)
--Zeke Mazuo (Brian)
--Myrnal (Ashley)
--Nezetta (Shini)

In case of an opening as a result of time incompatibilities, I will allow, with proper approval of characters, enough substitutes to fill it back out, but only BEFORE the initial session. After that, the RP will be closed until otherwise stated. However, the level average will be based on these original four. Those who haven't yet(Shini, I'm talking to you here), please post your times <p>"DO YOU THINK YOU CAN DEFEAT US? OUR TREASURE MAY BE HEAVY, BUT WE ARE LIGHT AS WIND.

My schedual changes weekly, but this week I have everything open but sunday and friday past 1 AM. <p>

<div style="text-align:center">What's wrong with this ring?!</div></p>

Affirmative. First session will start Friday night if all are present. Otherwise, Saturday. <p>"DO YOU THINK YOU CAN DEFEAT US? OUR TREASURE MAY BE HEAVY, BUT WE ARE LIGHT AS WIND. ONLY MAGICS MAY HURT US, BUT ONLY WE KNOW WHICH ONES." --Omoikane, Digital Devil Saga 2</p>

EXP rewards go as listed:

Zeke: 600 base+100 distraction
Myrnal: 600 base+50 overkill
Nezetta: 600 base+100 planning
Deeum: 600 base+50 blind-shot

Level up as necessary <p>"DO YOU THINK YOU CAN DEFEAT US? OUR TREASURE MAY BE HEAVY, BUT WE ARE LIGHT AS WIND. ONLY MAGICS MAY HURT US, BUT ONLY WE KNOW WHICH ONES." --Omoikane, Digital Devil Saga 2</p>

Episode 2 is planned to be scheduled this week. Please post available times. <p>"DO YOU THINK YOU CAN DEFEAT US? OUR TREASURE MAY BE HEAVY, BUT WE ARE LIGHT AS WIND. ONLY MAGICS MAY HURT US, BUT ONLY WE KNOW WHICH ONES." --Omoikane, Digital Devil Saga 2</p>

Tonight is the best night I can offer. I don't have to get up tomorrow and I don't work either. As a result, I'm available after about 3.5 this afternoon until possibly about 1am if necessary.

I IMed you last night to let you know this, but I don't know if you got it. Brian and I go on fall break next week, so we'll have somewhat more limited internet access as of Friday afternoon. That's when my flight home leaves, and I won't be able to use AIM openly until 8.5 the next Sunday. Other problem with break week: I'm not actually allowed in the house where the computer is once my parents go to bed. I won't even be in physical proximity to a computer after 9pm most nights.

So. Bleh. I've got tonight. Tomorrow I work. <p>-------------------------

Damn. This is a significant setback. A pity, really. I won't be able to do too much tonight due to Physics homework, and I'm unsure as to whether or not anyone else is going to be open tonight.

Episode 2 may have to be postponed as a result of this. <p>"DO YOU THINK YOU CAN DEFEAT US? OUR TREASURE MAY BE HEAVY, BUT WE ARE LIGHT AS WIND. ONLY MAGICS MAY HURT US, BUT ONLY WE KNOW WHICH ONES." --Omoikane, Digital Devil Saga 2</p>

I need to start checking this forum more often.
Well, let me know when the next one will be. I'll likely be open for anytime like I said before. <p><div style="text-align:center">

</div></p>

As I will be studying for exams, and my internet is likely going to be down this weekend anyway, there will be no session of Doomsday this week. <p>"DO YOU THINK YOU CAN DEFEAT US? OUR TREASURE MAY BE HEAVY, BUT WE ARE LIGHT AS WIND. ONLY MAGICS MAY HURT US, BUT ONLY WE KNOW WHICH ONES." --Omoikane, Digital Devil Saga 2</p>

Announcement of sadness.

I will be available this week. I have final things, but I will at least be physically near a computer.

After that, I go on break. For a long time. Four weeks long. I don't think I'll be able to get on AIM for any regular schedule. If I find that on a given weekend there will be an opportunity for me to do so, I'll be sure to post here and let people know. <p>-------------------------
"It has always been the prerogative of children and half-wits to point out that the emperor has no clothes. But the half-wit remains a half-wit and the emperor remains an emperor." -- Sandman "The Kindly Ones" </p>

So, are we continuing tomorrow? We seem to be having issues being here at the same time, and I don't want to plan anything if other people are going to be available. <p>-------------------------

Alright. Assuming everyone is on tonight, it will be continued. However, I will note that I cannot really leave any other time than Saturday nights open. Times will be unpredictable thanks to this computer being jointly-owned at the moment, so you'll have to bear with it. <p>"DO YOU THINK YOU CAN DEFEAT US?

Saturdays? Er, that may pose a bit of a problem.

GRAGH.

Hmm...I could move it to Fridays, assuming some other things could be moved to Saturday. Friday and Saturday are my two only big open PS RP days of the week, though. And for friday, not until after 7 at least. <p>"DO YOU THINK YOU CAN DEFEAT US? OUR TREASURE MAY BE HEAVY, BUT WE ARE LIGHT AS WIND.

Fridays are an issue for me; I work. <p>

...I am NOT about to make this board-format, people. Just noting.

EDIT: This is not due to hatred of board-format, so much as it is my inability to work with board format RPs more than half the time.
